eLearning Accessibility Summit 2017 - May 17, 2017

Robin Smail

User Experience Designer Penn State University

Let’s be honest: As soon as you see the word “accessible,”
your eyes tend to glaze over, right? Because honestly, how interesting can
accessibility be? When you think about design, you want sleek and sexy, shiny
and stylish. Sometimes, the idea of accessibility can be like a bucket of water
on a campfire—not the kind of sizzle you normally want for your website.

In this session, you’ll learn about folding
everyday accessibility into the user experiences you create. You’ll explore
how to create something that everyone can access, no matter what they are using
to access your content. You’ll turn design on its head, examining the human
aspect of your work. You’ll examine the guilty habits you can easily fall back
on, exploring opportunities to move your work forward. This session will
move the accessibility discussion into real life. Join in to talk about content
and design for all.
